XNRESET.EXE(C) UNIX System V
Name
xnreset.exe - MS-DOS version of the network adapter reset
command.
Syntax
xnreset.exe [sessions] [ncbs]
Description
The xnreset.exe command allows the network system
administrator to cancel all outstanding network requests,
remove all names from a network adapter, and set the number
of sessions and ncbs currently configured on the machine.
This command should only be used when erroneous information
has corrupted the contents of the network adapter's memory.
If the memory has been corrupted, the xnstatus command
returns a timeout message on the console. Note that using
the xnreset.exe command during file sharing tasks can result
in file corruption.
Options
The xnreset.exe command accepts two number arguments.
The first argument specifies the number of sessions to
configure the adapter for. The default is 20. The maximum
is 32.
The second numeric argument is the number of network control
blocks to configure the adapter for. The default value is
32.
If no arguments are given, the default values of 20 and 32
are used.
Notes
Because there is a finite amount of memory available on the
adapter, any increase in the number of sessions or network
control blocks decreases the packet size. The packet size
listed by an xnstatus is in bytes and represents the amount
of information transferrable in a single network
transaction.
